"Mittelstadt skated on the second line during the morning skate Wednesday. Evan Rodrigues gets bumped from center and will play on Mittelstadt's left wing with Sam Reinhart on the right side, while Ryan O'Reilly's trio stays intact but gets bumped down to the third line."

If they want to call it 2nd line, no biggie. It's just semantics. But O'Reilly's line will be playing more 5v5 time than Mittelstadt's will. To me, the line that plays 2nd most is the 2nd line, regardless of whether it's the 2nd "scoring line" (does a team w/ as few goals as the Sabres even have 1 of those?) or the traditional checking line.

Wowzers. Really? Welcome to the NHL kid.

This place is nuts.

Already worried about 10's of millions for Casey, man talk about starved for success.

Reality check, we don't even know if this kid is actually any good at an NHL level yet. He might be, but he might not.

It's an older reality, but it checks out. We were about to clear them and their optimism.

I am taking this directly from a poster on hfboards, but Reinhart, Eichel, and Mittelstadt are all very German names aren't they? 

What's a catchy name like "The French Connection" for German names, if they ever become a legendary Sabre line?

The Bruins has the Line in the ‘40s: Schmidt, Dumart and Bauer.

Probably not politically correct anymore.

 

EDIT so politically incorrect it won’t get past the filters apparently.
